there is a manual way to do it without vag-com...can't remeber how, links not working to old info, someone should let you know. Something like turn key to "on" position for 2 minutes and then start. Wait for another response though

Disconnect the negative battery cable for at least 10 minutes. Reconnect cable. Key On Engine Off (KOEO), should send it into adaptation.

you have the battery disconnected. reconnect. the the key to on-dont start. wait about 30s to a minute. start the car. done.... btw if you pop the hood and go listen you'll hear the throttle body doing its thing.

i and many other people have done it this way many times with no problems.

you and many other people are not aligning there throttle body! your just hearing the throttle body whine from testing that it does, its not aligning, big difference. no data is being calculated and or being effected.

The idea that you could do it without VAGcom was dissolved a long time ago. VAGcom is truly the only way.

there was actually a video that compared doing it with vagcom and trying to do it the chicken dance ways. it had the intercooler pipe removed and you could see the throttle plate moving with the noticable differences.

btw. i drive the car probably once or twice month and disconnect the battery everytme, same with during winter i start it every few weeks, most likely it will be fine to start and drive.

I have a VAG-COM and have done the TB alignment both ways. The Bentley for my 97 Jetta tells you to disconnect the neg battery terminal, turn on Key and reconnect to force the TB into an alignment. If you open the hood and listen you will hear the TB. When I have done it with the VAG-COM you hear the same sequence from the TB. I don't know if there is any additional things going on when you do it with a VAG-COM but it appeared to work both ways. Actually for my 97 jetta I was having rough idle issues and did the battery terminal thing and the issues went away.... so I am assuming it worked.

uhh.....97 jetta's didn't have 1.8t's with ME7 ecu's so this is kind of irrelavent. i don't even think they had drive by wire throttle bodies. vag-com or APR and Eurodyne Maestro software are the only ways to align the throttle body. yes it will make noise with the key on but it is not doing an alignment.
